Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Rupee - Abdur Rahman 1317 (1900) coin from the Emirate of Afghanistan is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western design elements. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of Abdur Rahman, the Emir of Afghanistan, wearing a turban and a long coat, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a mosque, along with the coin's denomination and mint year. This blend of traditional Islamic architecture and Western-style portraiture reflects the cultural influences present in Afghanistan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
